so i LOVE music. and that might just be an understatement. (no joke)
however, these past few days i have mainly been listening to country music. a part of my heart is so inspired by it that i can never turn it off. especially because i think country music has the most "interpret the song for yourself" lyrics out there. like the newest song from Lady Antebellum "i run". here is a few lines from it.
When lies become the truth
That's when I run to you
This world keeps spinning faster
To a new disaster, so I run to you I run to you,
When it all starts coming undone, you're the only one I run to
I run to you
Now i am sure when they wrote this they had the intentions of it being a love song between a man and a women, especially because it is a duet. but when i heard of it i couldn't help but think of my relationship with God. it is plain and clear.
when our world falls apart we have no one else to run to except God. He will always remain and always be there, no matter what.
The end of Hebrews 13:5 says:
Never will I leave you...
...never will I forsake you.
We can always run to God. He is our refuge and our stregnth. He is our comfort and our shelter.
Run to Him, He wants you to.

the unconditional love...
"trust God in everything that you do...
...dont try to figure it all out on your own."
~proverbs 3:5
Ok...so i know it has kinda been forever since i have written. Life has been crazy. I just finished my hardest half semester of school yet..and have know taken the last few days that i have had off to catch up on life. so im going to start bloggin again :)
This break has been crazy...it seems that everyone i have talked to has been struggling with something...including myself. i have just had quite the battle and have been hating myself for recent mistakes i have made. whenever i seem to screw up i seem to do it in big ways, which leads me to just beat myself up about it.
now my question is...why do we do that? why is it that everytime we stray away a little we just beat ourselves up and not just give it up to God and let him forgive, because true repentence is always followed by forgiveness. why is it so hard to remember that God loves us (always and forever). that is his promise.
i was talking to a friend yesterday and he reminded me of that. that no matter what i do or how big i screw up...God still loves me. so that is my message today, even though we all know it in the bottom of our hearts, sometimes we forget the simplest concept:
GOD LOVES YOU
